The Apple iPad did garner quite a large amount of attention from everyone during its launch, but then again the initial excitement has died down. This Android-powered tablet does seem to be preparing itself to handle whatever the iPad offers to the market, boasting a 7" touchscreen display at 800 x 480 resolution while running on a 600MHz ARM9 processor. As with the Ramos W7 MID, it too, will run on Rockchip’s RK2808 chipset alongside a front-facing camera. There is still no word on pricing or availability, but it could very well arrive in the China market before the month is over to coincide with the Lunar New Year holidays.

Where else but China can you get clones of all sorts of devices? The latest to fall victim would be the MacBook Air, as this clone comes in an exact duplicate packaging, alongside a manual and relevant drivers to get you started. Well, opening it up will be rather disappointing as it isn't exactly a computing powerhouse with an Intel Atom processor that is more relevant for netbook computing tasks. We wonder how long will it take before Apple's lawyers start giving the company making these calls. One advantage of this that we can't deny would be a user replaceable battery. Would you fork out $278 for one of these? We would like to caution folks who see too-good-to-be-true prices on auction sites like eBay that sell a MacBook Air at dirt cheap prices, complete with box and all considering this is a pretty close clone of Cupertino's.

The P660+ is more or less an extremely close clone of the HTC P3470, where it is powered by Windows Mobile 6.5 while featuring a 2.8" QVGA touchscreen display, a microSD memory card slot, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, and a 2-megapixel camera. There is no 3G connection with this $165 handset, which is pretty surprising in this day and age, so don't expect it to make a splash regardless of the market it is released in. Surprisingly enough for a cloned handset, this one does not sport any dual SIM carriage that those China manufacturers are so fond of.

No, we don't mean to say that Teclast has Apple in its crosshair with the X13-S01, but rather, they drew inspiration from Cupertino's design of the MacBook Air. The X13-S01 (how tongue-unfriendly is this naming convention) will feature a 13.3" display, but apart from that we know nothing else of its specifications. It measures less than 1cm thin at the thinnest section, while the thickest segment stands at approximately 2.3cm, coming in a gray aluminum chassis and a white keyboard to complete its homage to the fruity company. No idea on pricing or availability, but you can bet your iPod collection that this will not come remotely close to what folks are willing to fork out for an actual Apple equivalent.

Love those cheap clones of portable handheld consoles like the PSP and DS? Well, the JXD V3 aims to make a name for itself by coming in a clamshell form factor (hello, DS!) while bringing a delectable 4.3" display at 480 x 272 resolution alongside a 5-megapixel camera. Strangely enough, the button layout and symbols used seem to lean more towards Sony's offering on the gaming front, but it doesn't do too well in terms of actual games supported since you'll be limited to libraries from the following past champions - GBA, GBC, GB, NES and SMD among others. With 8GB of internal memory, this doubles up as a portable media player as well, and the $111 price point doesn't hurt, either.

No, we're not suffering from dyslexia but the above title is obviously a blatant ripoff of Sony Ericsson's X Series of smartphones, called the Somy X5 from Scny Eriosscn. This knockoff does resemble the Sony Ericsson Xperia Pureness pretty closely in physical dimensions, boasting a 2.2" transparent display, albeit coming with a dual SIM carriage, a digital camera of unknown megapixel count, Bluetooth connectivity and an integrated FM radio. Needless to say, it retails for approximately $80 a pop in China, and we're pretty sure you won't see it hitting Stateside anytime soon.

Another day yields yet another discovery of a cloned handset, with the HTC Tattoo falling victim this time around. Interestingly enough, the Windows Mobile logo is located on the top left corner of the display, which goes against the grain as the real Tattoo is an Android-powered phone. It is based on the Hisilicon K3 Windows Mobile platform, and will run on a 460MHz Qualcomm processor alongside a 2.8" QVGA touchscreen display, 128MB RAM, 256MB ROM, Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS navigation and an integrated FM radio to round off the list of features. There is no word on price, but you know what our stand against clones is - buy original!

The Noko H-988 portable media player definitely plays with the brand awareness that Nokia has built up over the years, where it comes in a zinc alloy case that has a clear strip with an LED light located at the bottom which screams for attention, especially when you use it in the dark (such as watching trailers on it in the cinema before the show starts). Despite having a 4.3" display, this portable media player does handle 1080p video playback and with its TV out port, you can always hook it up to your HDTV and enjoy pre-loaded movies on the big screen instead.

Guess the Motorola Clip has already caught the attention of Chinese clone manufacturers in the form of the Rola V19. It looks like an exact Clip clone, but you can bet your bottom dollar that this won't run on Android. Powered by a MTK chipset, you get a 3" WQVGA touchscreen display, dual SIM slots, an integrated FM radio, a front-facing camera for video calls and a side QWERTY keyboard. Video calls are supported through its own pre-loaded software, although you will need to fork out 8 Yuan ($1.17 USD) monthly. We do wonder what Motorola lawyers have to say about this...

Love all things craptastic and clones? The Nokia CoolE93 handset ought to pique your interest then, where it unabashedly prints 'N93' on the handset's exterior without sporting the internal machinery of an actual N93 from Nokia themselves. To keep up with the times, the handset comes with an iPhone home screen replica alongside Wi-Fi connectivity, JAVA support and a camera. There is a chance of it running a form of customized Android OS, but until someone out there gets their hands on it to give it a go, we won't really know.

The Xderia X2 cellphone is a shamless clone of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X2, featuring a similar sliding mechanism as the original as well as 3" display, although it does not run on Windows Mobile (which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but of course clone manufacturers' operating system interfaces are far worse). You get a WQVGA display which is a lower resolution compared to the Xperia X2's WVGA, while other features include an integrated FM radio, quadband GSM support, a dual SIM carriage and a built-in digital camera - don't be fooled by the 12.1MP label behind!

Don't be fooled - the Hello Kitty G1 phone is not a blinged up version of the Android-powered G1 handset despite looking somewhat like it. This Japan-bound handset comes with a DVB-T/H chip that lets you check out what shows are available over digital TV at the moment, while giving you the option of shooting 7.2-megapixel images with its built-in digital camera. No idea on which Hello Kitty fan is willing to fork out $499 for a faux G1, but fanaticsm knows no bounds.

The Aldi is another iPod nano clone for the masses, where it will lack the Click Wheel found on the regular iPod nano, although it is equipped with an integrated FM tuner. When it comes to video playback, don't expect the Aldi to bring the house down with just AMV file format support, but then again how much do you expect from a $43 device from China? Battery life stands at 3 hours for both music and video playback, but interestingly enough it comes with a 3-year warranty. It does lead us to question though - companies like these that churn out such clones, will they be around after a couple of years to honor the warranty agreement?

We find it rather strange that a company like MSI would, in a sense, stoop so low as to reveal the MT-V660 portable media player that closely resembles the Zune HD at first glance. The innards are pretty different though, where a Rockchip RK2806 chipset is accompanied by a 3.2" touchscreen display at 480 x 320 resolution, A/V out, support for a wide range of codecs, a calendar, calculator and an e-book reader. No idea on whether Microsoft will bring this to court, but since imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, perhaps they might be happy instead that the Zune HD is finally "cloned" instead of the myriad of Apple iPod clones out there.
